Did you install the tweaked keyboard? When you're in a text entry field you just hit the mic.

I just installed Jonas's keyboard and all works fine but if I click on the mic button nothing seems to happen. If I hold down the mic button it shows the settings symbol and when you release it, it goes to settings.....

There's a widget for that. If you go to add a widget, look for SETTINGS - in there you'll find one for mobile network.

A little help required guys...
When I turn bluetooth on & make it DISCOVERABLE, there is a timer which makes it DISCOVERABLE for only 120seconds... How can I make it DISCOVERABLE without timer 4 as long as I want to... (bcaz when I want 2 use my bluettooth headset I want this 2 stay DISCOVERABLE) or is there something I m missing...
Thanks in advance...

You DON'T want your phone discoverable permanently. For what you said you want to do, use a headset, you don't need it to be. Once you're paired that's it.

Hi,
Since the update of the rom, I have the following problem.
I launch) a calling, and when the call succeeds, my Hermes vibrates.
How to deactivate it?
Thanks
Hi,
it's not a bug, it's a feature. BTW, does anyone know tweak to enable it?
pretty annoying feature if you ask me... keeps surprising me as it vibrates on my ear as I am waiting for an answer.
Would love to find a fix to this feature as well.
hahahahaahah omg i apologise for digressing but this whole "vibrator in my ear" thing is just absolutely hillarious! ahhahahahaha!

Do you have phoneAlarm installed? If so, check its settings and configuration, as you can control this feature from there.

Open up the settings for phoneAlarm, and click the About tab. Then click on the icon near the lower-left to set certain advanced settings. Scroll down till you see the following section:
# Vibrate on connect Hack - for WM 5.0 devices where vibrate on connect doesn't work, try this
# 1 = active, all other values = off
# Default = off
'vibrateOnConnectFix=1
If you have exactly what I show above, remove the ' from the beginning of the last line, and change the 1 at the end to a 0.
This is all assuming you've got a recent beta or release of pA.
There is probably another way to control this 'feature', but I have not found it.
hth,

It's Ok. I have founded the option in PA 1.61

Hello,
I'm using schap's WM6 ROM 3.30a
I was wondering if someone knows an app to initiate a 3G/GPRS/EDGE connection.
I use radio streaming programs that don't initiate the connection by themselves. So I would love that kind of button to connect/disconnect easily from my 3G ISP.
If you think it's possible...
Thanks !

Schap's CommManager has a button to do this
I've downloaded schap's comm manager ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310650 ), but I don't see any button to do that. There is a button to switch between 2G and 3G. But I dont' see a button to start or stop the connection.
Thanks
How about BandSwitch...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070
As I understand you want a way to disconnect a 3G connection... right?
If so, you want something like the HTCustom Tweak Application... it allows you to display the GPRS/3G Disconnect and Timer option!
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307873

It's the 4th button down on the right - looks like a computer with a globe behind it - press that and then 'connect' on the left softkey (under network connection it should show your default 3G connection)

The left and right softkeys are the buttons on the bottom of the screen which also have hardware buttons below them
does the button I mentioned in the comm manager not work for you?
sorry I found it out.
But I would prefer something faster, with one click only
First off this has nothing to do with WM6... second all of the tweak apps have a setting for connection always on! and the option to show a dissconnect button on the top! third in most commangers there is a data connection button that you simply tap and turn the data on and off... searching the forum would have been a much easier way to find your answer it seems that people love to be spoon feed around here and are not willing to go through the trial and error that real devs do to get what they want. until senior member stop feeding into this the problem will never stop. I know everyone wants to be a nice guy but damn if we don't stop this no we might as well change the name to HoFo2...

My first thought would be to look at a program called 'mortscript' in which you can create scripts and attach them to shortcuts or hardware buttons. You can do just about anything with these scripts so is probably your best bet for a 1-click option
Be happy with what is out there. If you feel you want something faster and one click, you might be better off writting your own apps to fit your needs.

Thank you all
Sorry for Hijacking this thread.
After I got the WM6 image on my device I lack the button / link for initiating the 3G/UMTS-Connection (before I was able to click on the "U" (="3G") logo in the menubar, and the Connectivity-Bubble gave me the option to initiate the data-connection. With the new image it only shows me a text that "there are no data-connections active. If necessary applications will initiate a connection. Go into "Settings" to change your connection settings." (Freely translated from the german version)
Anybody know how I can get them back? I'm aware of the reg-hack to get the disconnect-button in HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2, what are the settings of Flag2 and Flag of people who are able to initiate the connection from the menu bar?
TIA, Ulf
PhoneAlarm can include a button to initiate or stop a data connection (as well as BT or WiFi buttons), with one click. It's also an awesome program for other reasons if you haven't used it yet.
Hi!
I live in Europe and flashed the Dopod rom..
The thing is, ever since the upgrade when I connect to (mobile) internet, it doesn't show the UMTS sign, but the Edge/3g sign. Internet is a lot slower than before as well.
Does this have anything to do with the fact I get an error when I boot saying it's for Asia only, or do I need to do something to connect to the UMTS network?
for more info, please look at this thread:

You can only click in the today plugin and switch when you have internet connection. Else, it opens the Today Menu, Settings, Phone.
Is this your case?

well you have to give a little more information then that for a definite answer. But the answer is yes AND no right now
If you are running the latest build of android for our phone with the sound working searching via speaking WILL work if you activate the mic first. This is done by making a phone call and then immediately after using the search feature and speaking. Once you do this once the mic shuts off again though. I have no doubt that till will be working in the next little while fully though now that we have sound finally.
See here --------> [Bug] Voice Search Fails Unless Mic is Already Active
yes i have latest build thanks
i have one more question i have advance task killer and when i close all apps and go again look at if all apps are closed some of them still there...
Still setting this all up before installing in the car. In the Bluetooth app, my phonebook remains empty. My phone connects fine and I can send and receive calls, but no phonebook. Any ideas?
Bump. Anyone? Buhler?
I`ve tried with 3 different phones but still nothing.

Go in to Xposed/modules and remove the thick from the bluetooth something (I don't remember exact wording)
and your phone will sync. It's a known problem. Did you do a search for this problem?
After that you can sync as described above.

Xposed installer/modules/and remove the thick from XposedMtcBT and reset.
Thanks, I`ll give it a try this evening.
I cant find the GUI for the ExposedMctBT bluetooth app. I can see that it is installed under runningapps, but I dont see any GUI. This also prevents me to call out. Incomming calls works fine. Anybody know where to start the GUI? Thanks
Unchecking the Xposed-mtc-bt in the Xposed modules fixed the problem. Now I can sync the phonebook.
Unfotunately the included mic is crap. It's too short to install in the overhead console, so I have it next to the steering wheel. It seems to pick up everything but voices.

There is no GUI for Xposed-mtc-bt. Open Xposed Installer, click on Modules then uncheck the Xposed-mtc-bt. Then reboot.
Error.
